Thank you so, so much for the barnstar, it's like barnstar day! You know, The Halo has had, like, five today. Sergeant Snopake 21:38, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

It has to be a record. I don't think anyone's ever had so many in such a short space of time. Sergeant Snopake 10:13, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

So he now has another, a RAOK. It's unbelievable. Sergeant Snopake 10:36, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Your question on my RfA

Has been replied, I'm very flattered that you used it. :) I hope it seems clear enough so that you may understand me as both an editor and a person. Yanksox 16:02, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time

There are great game shows on GSN that are part of the 50 Greatest Game Shows category. Some shows that air on that show are shows that are never going to air again. Why are you deleting this article? Someone in the future might want to take a look at it. There are shows in the list that didn't air and people would like to take a look at the shows that didn't air that are on the list. Why is the list considered an article for deletion? - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.237.218.93 (talk • contribs) . 12:22 23 July 2006 (UTC)

My mistake

I was not aware that there was a warning that should have been given for deleting the AfD box. I'm still feeling my way around these sorts of issues. Erechtheus 16:46, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Don't bite newcomers

I am sorry that you thought that my manner was uncivil on those pages. In my oppinon, I was not biting them, just strongly giving my oppinon on that page. If I caused any problems by that, please leave a message on my talk page on how I can fix that. But please don't insult me like that because that may make me more angry, so just leave suggetions. Thanks. Kitia 20:42, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• Oh and by the way, that second comment of mine was a joke. Why does none here at Wikipedia like jokes? Kitia 20:46, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks from Yanksox

Hey, IanManka, thanks for supporting my RfA, with a tally of 104/4/7... I am now an admin!!! I was and still am very flattered by all the kind comments that I recieved, I will also take into account the comments about how I could improve. I guarantee I will try my best to further assist Wikipedia with the mop. Feel free to drop in and say hi or if you need anything. Again, thank you so much! Yanksox 07:37, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Mr media

I don't know, this adminship business seems to have gone to that Ian Manka's head, cos now he's appearing in my Google News searches. He'll be after Jimbo's job next ;-) Oldelpaso 13:04, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Request for help

A user e-mailed me after appearing in my local daily newspaper with regards of adding information to the site. I asked for his user name, but declined to give it to me. I have been thinking for days trying to come up with a response to his e-mail:

Hello and thanks for your response. I appreciate your efforts. What would probably help me the most is a step by step approach to adding info. to the web site. I've already registered but the steps to be taken after that were confusing to me.

I'm not a computer expert. I have a lot of information on Ravenna's Quaker Oats including colored photos of old Ravenna Quaker Oats labels. I even have Sanborn insurance maps from the late 1800's showing the exact location of Ravenna's Quaker Oats buildings.

I also have information regarding Chapman Root whose' bottling company, in Terra Haute, Indiana, was the location for the creation of the well known Coca Cola bottle. Chapman Root went to school in Ravenna. I have some photos of him and his plant.

Henry Parsons Crowell, of Quaker Oats fame, was also instrumental in the financial backing of the Moody Bible Institute. Crowell was also instrumental in the creation of the Perfection Stove Company that our grandparents used to warm their homes.

My concern is that I don't want to ruin another person's information but would rather add to or create a new information site. Thanks for your help. If you would care to help with a step by step set of instructions, I would appreciate it.

I was wondering the following:

Where should the user place the information? Should be in a Quaker Oats-related article, or should it be in the Ravenna article? This also may not be suitable for Wikipedia. Furthermore, more information could be added past this.

He claims that he is "no computer expert." How would I go about telling him how to edit information? Seeing as whoever answers this query is used to dealing with new users, I thought I would ask you.

The reason I haven't responded yet is because I don't want to say the wrong thing, and have his edits reverted, and then he would get all discouraged and never contribute again. Any suggestions? Or, is this an inappropriate place for this? Should I ask this elsewhere? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Ian Manka Talk to me! 04:09, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

By the looks of your question, I think it would be best to have you log on to IRC. This way I can get others on #wikipedia-bootcamp to help you in addition to me. This link will direct you to a web based IRC client. This way you don't have to download anything to talk to us! We are waiting for you. —— Eagle (ask me for help) 04:21, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

If you can't make it to the IRC channel, I think asking on the Help desk would be a good idea. Perhaps a few people can work together to form a response.--Commander Keane 04:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I think the help desk is the best option, so I'm gonna post it there. Thanks a bunch! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by IanManka (talk • contribs) .

F&A

I had noticed your addition, well done. I wasn't aware there was a defeatured mechanism for images, where's that at? And I've decided to archive my talk once a year... although if it get unmanagable, I might do it bi-annually. Up in the air right now. - RoyBoy ⁸⁰⁰ 04:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Just noticed the delisting section. Thanks for the heads up. - RoyBoy ⁸⁰⁰ 04:54, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Heck no, thx. People have been requesting more analysis for the F&A, so anything is helpful and appreciated. - RoyBoy ⁸⁰⁰ 04:59, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Ace Class Shadow

Hi! How is it going with Ace? Sorry about my edit summary with a personal attack. To tell you the truth, I was just plain angry. Do we have to put Ace on the RfC? I will send you an E-mail. Marcus 20:25, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

You missed one

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Joturner 2 was another unsuccessful RfA with more than 100 support votes. Feel free to check my lists, User:NoSeptember/RfA voting records, on these issues, I have been quite thourough in gathering the data. Perhaps you only consider those that are not withdrawn, but this one was withdrawn based on the fact that it was not going to pass, which is sort of a technicality. Not listing it seems arbitrary to me. Cheers, NoSeptember 08:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Sure, a thanks and a link would be great, I'm always looking to publicize my pages :). I'll be on wikibreak when the next signpost issue comes out btw. Also, my pages are sometimes a week or two behind as I update some pages only about twice a month. Cheers, NoSeptember 18:08, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but

I completely do not understand your comment on my talk page. What's the frequency, Kenneth? 21:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

OpenWetWare deletion

I saw that you deleted the page about OpenWetWare. I have to say that i'm not too aware about Wikipedia's policies, so I can't really be that upset. However, it should be said that I wasn't notified at all. Also, the few people who voted on the deletion were also wrong in a number of their facts. There are definitely more than 66 distinct google hits from openwetware not including self-references. Also, there have been several articles about OpenWetWare, including two in Nature and one in Science (the two leading scientific journals). That being said, I have no idea whether the article should or should not be deleted. I am only pointing out that I would have liked to been notified to better address people's concerns (perhaps to beef up the article) and to say that the people voting were misinformed.

Thanks, --Skosuri 00:29, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

ps. I am a member of the Steering Committee of OpenWetWare. I didn't realize that this means I shouldn't contribute. In which case, I have also contributed to the article Synthetic Biology, a field that I have vested interests in promoting (as do most of the other contributors).

Here is a link to some of the press articles about OpenWetWare. (disclosure: also on steering committee, so don't know if this excludes my contribution.) --Jasonk 18:09, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential! What's New? In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs. To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed! The In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 05:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

I'm so very sorry to have to inadvertently caused you to do so much work summarising it. But I really believe that there isn't a snowballs chance in hell of it getting the super-majority-support it would need in order to be accepted. I'd hate for the sidebar redesign to get splintered over this issue. So, can I archive that thread, and like, owe you a beer? ;)

Ahh, I just previewed and (got the orange "new messages" box) saw your new msg at my talk! Yeah, I'm going to archive it right now. Sorry again. (Try out that code to highlight it for yourself though. See my monobook for a few more too). Thanks, --Quiddity·(talk) 00:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I suppose you know that some time this week we will reach a level of 1000 admins. {{NUMBEROFADMINS}} = 851 NoSeptember 00:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

In that respect, did you want to write a full article on hitting 1k admins? If so, feel free; if not, someone else can. It seems like it's worthy of a full article. Ral315 (talk) 20:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Is there going to be a note about #1000 in the signpost? If so, I thought I could link my words in that userbox to it. Thanks. —Xyrael / 10:45, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

> I count 39 former admins on WP:LA and my own page. But then there are also the 3 temporary admins who had rights once, and there are no guarantees that someone hasn't been missed (especially from years ago when it wasn't tracked so closely). It wasn't until May 21 that I realized Eloquence was not listed on WP:BCRAT as a former bureaucrat and added him, I bet there are a few missing admins. If 39 is correct then Wknight94 on July 16 would be the 1000th ever promoted, but that doesn't sound right when we know the three temp admins were promoted at some point, which would make Aldux on July 12 the 1000th. (I use my admincount page plus the log to calculate this) I think just having the note on former admins you have is OK since if we try to be exact we will likely be wrong, I guess you could mention that we passed the 1000 admins ever promoted in mid-July.
> And you can't say that there "were between 35 and 40 admins desysopped" as you have it in the article, because many more admins were also desysopped, and then resysopped later.
> You may want to mention the exact date of the promotion (probably Sept 2nd).
> Since we were at 500 as recently as early July 2005, we doubled them in a bit over a year.
> I like your idea of using one of the admin growth charts in the article. NoSeptember 11:12, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Heh, wow. I'm on the spamlist so I should see it. I'm not sure about a comment yet, perhaps it is indeed better to wait until after the promotion. Thanks. —Xyrael / 19:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

> In the Nae'blis sentence I would replace "have been" with "are" (there have been a lot more who are no longer former).
> The exponential growth sentence is opinion and would be hotly debated on WT:RFA, although I agree with you.
> And I would not use a bunch of charts (2 at most), create a new one if need be to show what you really want to show. NoSeptember 23:01, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

My comment

I've dropped this onto your article page, hope it's okay: —Xyrael / 12:41, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

“ The fact that we've broken the barrier of one thousand sysops is far more exciting for the community than the promotion of myself. I'm happy to think that we've continued to develop the number of people who have the deep interest in Wikipedia that administrators do enough to reach this figure. Wikipedia is growing and changing every day and this is how it should be. We can always improve, and I hope that I live up to your expectations as an admin. ”

Long-Overdue RfA Thanks from Alphachimp

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which was successful with a an overwhelmingly flattering and deeply humbling total of 138/2/2 (putting me #10 on the RfA WP:100). I guess infinite monkey theorem has been officially proven. Chimps really can get somewhere on Wikipedia. With new buttons come great responsibility, and I'll try my best to live up to your expectations. If you need assistance with something, don't hesitate to swing by my talk page or email me (trust me, I do respond :)). The same goes for any complaints or comments in regard to my administrative actions. Remember, I'm here for you.

Steve Carell images

I was wondering why you took the The 40-Year-Old Virgin picture off his page and not the Little Miss Sunshine one. They are both images from films, is there some rule/classification that chooses which one stays? Just want to know for future reference. Thanks. --Nehrams2020 23:43, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Me again, just to let you know, the pictures were readded. I guess you can remove them again and leave details about it on the talk page for Steve Carell. --Nehrams2020 05:04, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Reminder...

Not sure what the point of your reminder is, perhaps you could give an example of templates where you think I have forgotten to subst, though of course there are also good reasons not to subst and indeed if we wanted to enforce subst we could have the mediawiki software changed to do so on talk pages. --pgk 06:18, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification, first thing in the morning for me, so my tired eyes didn't see the link (either that or I'm just an idiot, I can think of good arguments for both). That template it quite new so I doubt it's been considered relative to subst. I tend not to subst that one, though I've seen others do so, to me it falls into the whole unblock/unblock reviewed series, which I would suspect could be removed fairly promptly after being dealt with. --pgk 19:37, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors! What's New? September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves! Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there! The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself! The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it!

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

F & A

I've finally decided to leave Wikipedia. If you need help with anymore F & A's you know where to find me, here. I can prepare it there and you can get it from there and bring it to the newsroom. Sugarpine t/c 03:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Yep, were still doing it. Your doing it this week, I'll do it next week. I'll be on simple so you can contact me at my simple talkpage, where I'll do the reports and then take them over to the newsroom. Fine with the idea? Any questions? Sugarpine t/c 03:34, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I'm still contributing but over on simple english. Can you fullprotect all of my user subpages and semi protect my user talkpage as right to vanish? Sugarpine t/c 03:38, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
